Press Release from the fellas at Liquid Force:

Fort Worth, TX. (August 28, 2009) – On Saturday, September 19th some of the top professional wakeskaters in the world will make their way to Fort Worth, Texas to participate in the Monster Energy Trinity River Round Up. This will be, a unique competition that will take place on several custom built rails and obstacles over a spillway on the Trinity River in Trinity Park. The event was originally scheduled to take place earlier this year during Fort Worth’s Annual Mayfest Celebration, but the festival was cancelled due to a swine flu scare

The Monster Energy Trinity River Round-Up is the brainchild of Dallas Texas based pro rider, Clint Tompkins. Known for his technical prowess on rails and obstacles and his never-ending search for new, undiscovered “winch” spots, Tompkins wanted to create an event that would bring some of his friends and fellow competitors to Texas to compete in a unique, natural setting. With $5000 in prize money up for grabs.

The Monster Energy Trinity River Round Up will be the first pro wakeskate competition to take place in an all-natural setting and some of the most celebrated names in the sport are already scheduled to compete including Tompkins, Reed Hansen, Andrew Pastura, Ross Gardner, George Daniels, Matt Hooker, Collin Gee and recent Alliance Wakeboard Magazine cover boy – Dieter Humpsch. Invitations are also out to Aaron Reed, Brian Grubb, Matt Manzari and Nick Taylor.

In addition to Monster Energy Drink, the event is sponsored by Freeman Toyota/SCION, Woly Board Company, FUEL TV, Time Warner Cable and Liquid Force. Media partners include Alliance Wakeboard Magazine, the Fort Worth Weekly and Wakeworld.com.

(Chicago, IL) – The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) announced Malibu Boats as the recipient of the 2009 Marine Industry CSI Award. That makes it 2 years in a row for the world’s best selling water sports boat. This latest award joins Malibu’s 8th consecutive Boat of the Year Award in the trophy cabinet for 2009. Malibu Boats was recognized for excellence in customer satisfaction, as part of NMMA’s Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) program.

Malibu Boats will be acknowledged during the 2009 International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), taking place October 12-14 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

The Marine Industry CSI Awards program honors participating manufacturers that actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve the customer. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between April 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009. Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period.

NMMA launched its CSI program in 2001 to provide boat and engine manufacturers with an independently-measured, cost-effective means of improving customer satisfaction in the boating industry. Since the program’s inception, more than 600,000 surveys have been sent out to new boat and engine customers, allowing participating manufacturers to monitor customer satisfaction on an ongoing basis, and to benchmark themselves against the industry and their competitors. There were a total of 105 boat and engine brands that participated in the 2009 program.
